uudecode (-m) supports base64 and is available under Mac OS X and
usually under GNU/Linux.  recode is a more generic tool that also
supports base64 ``surfaces'' (and just about everything else).  It is
not available under Mac OS X, but is available in fink:

  http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/recode

It is usually available in GNU/Linux distributions (certainly under
Debian).  Warning, it has a bit of a learning curve.  To change from
base64 to a Mac text file:

  $ recode Latin1/Base64..mac <IN.base64 >OUT.mac

As you can probably guess, you can also use it to convert between
UNIX/MSWin32/Mac newline characters.  To convert from Mac to UNIX

  $ recode Latin1..mac <IN.mac >OUT.txt

The info pages for recode are quite extensive.
